Go to Sears and buy an E Z Out kit. Or weld a bolt head on to the broken bolt

A bit of advice.... when you have a screw head thats striped, Use a vice grip plyers on the head, or use a dremel tool to slot the head of the screw so you can take it out with a flat head screwdriver.

Also for stripped bolt heads or nuts, sometimes if you have a smaller socket that you can sacrifice... If you have access to it, tap the smaller socket down on the stripped nut with a hammer, and 80% of the time the nut/bolt will come off. Just use light pressure on your socket wrench till it comes loose.

E Z out kit best route to go.

I would also use an EZ out.

Drill the broken bolt and use the EZ out to back it out.

Be sure to drill in the center of the broken bolt and use a tap to start your hole,makes things easier.

left handed drill bits are a great thing to have also
